Help No text message sound SOLVED after all other options exhausted + bonus "cheat" workaround

Hello fellow frustrated Android users!

I would like to share a solution that I have not come across anywhere on the internet over the course of 5 months of not having notification sounds when receiving texts. If this doesn't work for you, try my workaround trick until you're able to fix the root of the problem.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus with Android version 8.0.0 and Samsung Experience Version 9.0. It is not rooted.

Application: Messages and other text messaging apps from the Play Store.

Specific problem: Text messages through Messages and other text messaging apps were received without sound notifications BUT still had pop-up notifications and vibration upon receipt of text messages.

Solution: Messages app > open any conversation > three dots in top right corner > Notifications > Custom > Sound > Choose tone.

Explanation: Despite having reset to factory settings, when I opened the custom tone option for a conversation in messages, the default tone appeared to be "1999" which is not a ringtone on my phone.

Results: I completed these steps in one conversation, tested it, then received a text message with sound, vibration, and pop-up notification. Shortly thereafter I received a text message from a different conversation which notified me with sound, vibration, and pop-up despite only having changed the settings in one conversation. I have not received any new texts since then, so I cannot say whether or not all current and new conversations have been fixed. I will leave all variables on my phone unchanged and report back my findings.

THE WORKAROUND TRICK YOU NEED TO KNOW!

Frustrated and unable to fix your no sound with text messages problem? Try these steps to get a sound notification for text messages!

Settings > Accessibility > Notification Reminder > ON > (vibrate on or off) > Select Reminder Interval (1 minute) > "Show Notifications From" > Messages.

This is a temporary "hack" for you to use while you figure out how to resolve the real cause for receiving text messages without sound, but there are some things you should know for this to work:
  • You must open or mark as read all conversations in the Messages app
  • When you receive a new text, you must open it or mark as read when you are alerted
  • This loophole will give you an audio alert a minute after you receive the text message but won't stop alerting you every minute you until the text is marked as read
  • If you do not make sure all texts and the most recent text are marked as read, you will not know whether or not you've received a new one
  • If you are not in a situation in which you can immediately access your device you may want to disable the accessibility setting otherwise the phone will continue to sound every minute until you can access it
  • You will want to disable the setting when you are ready to sleep for obvious reasons

Samsung S3 Frontier - Watchband rash

S3 Frontiers factory silicone watchband

My rash has only occurred in the past week after having it a year or so.
It is about the size of a quarter at most and is at the side of my wrist which is inline with my thumb.

I found that there is an imprint (raised) that looks like/says:
L
--------
Gear S3

Because it is raised it is not smooth as the rest of the band is.

Has anyone else received rashes in the same location and what resolution or model band did you replace with?

Since it is silicone I am wondering the best option to try and smooth it over best as can without cause more (or other) damage.


Thanks

Help Phone says WiFi connections, but calls/texts deducted from balance

LG Stylo4 unlocked phone - Have checked before placing calls or texst. Phone has icon of phone and WiFi waves signifying I'm on WiFi. Notifications says "Make calls using WiFi" Mobile data turned off. Yet, each minute and each text gets deducted from my account anyway and will not send text with attachments.

Have had the runaround troubleshooting on the help lines. One suggestion was to change APN type in settings to - default,mms,supl - which I did, but now it wants other fields filled - APN and Name - what is the Tracfone NAME and APN to access utilization of WiFi calls and texting (including attachments) without deducting from my data balance?

new Samsung Galaxy Buds... just got them

hi ..

i just got (week ago) the Samsung Galaxy Buds.. black: https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/audio/galaxy-buds/
to replace the LG Tone Platinum : https://www.lg.com/us/bluetooth-headsets-headphones/lg-HBS-1120-Black-tone

loved my LG Tones.. my 3rd.
I keep breaking them.. due to my active life and workouts.
they sound great and easy to use ..
they just hang on my neck till needed -
answer calls - pull out headphone and put in ear
biggest issue is that they do not handle workouts well
when doing things in a horizontal position: sit-ups .. they slide back on the neck
the wires get caught in clothings when i move around
mic can be covered by clothing.
sweat causes issues
cant use while charging... sucks during a workout.

Galaxy Buds
i like them.. they sound great
wireless charging ... is great. I can use the buds.. while the base is charging.
convenient to just drop on wireless charger on my work-desk.
they are rated to handle light water issues. sweaty workouts.
small issue..when you are wiping your face with a towel
it bumps the buds - touch pads. pausing play.
BIGGEST issue: answering calls... when buds are NOT in your ear.
Not convenient when the buds are in the case.
fish the case out of your pocket or go to it's location (desk)
open and put the buds in your ear.. without bumping the touch pads
then double tap the pads..
if the phone has rang several times.. i feel there is not enough time to use the buds.

case is small... but not small enough.
i would like it as small and slim as the apple airpods. they are NOT noticeable in my pocket.
in the summer.. when i wear shorts... one more thing i will need to carry in pocket.
phone, wallet, keys, Buds


what are your thoughts?
i have 1 more week .. to return them.
leaning towards keeping them. but miss the around the neck LG.

Root for unlocked Pixel 2xl

OK, i've had this puppy for a while, and i've decided to root it. Problem is that i've read so many different ways to get root that i'm totally confused. My pixel 2xl is the Google model, and already comes with an unlocked bootloader. Although it shouldn't be, that is part of the problem. Also, when i try and install the factory image, it won't load. I know that i have to have that image on the phone or it will brick. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:p

Wifi Hotspot automation

Because i need to take out my cell phone from my pocket to connect it in my car (unuseful motion) to have android auto... i bought an pixel to be in my car and ready for it ! But i need to activate hotspot from my cell phone (S9+) automatically.

Im not able to automatically turn hotspot on from tasker or other apps :(

Is there a way to do it without root my phone ?

Elder Scrolls: Blades

Thoughts? Experience? Joy? Sadness?

Got to say (personally) I am not surprised by the game. It is everything I thought it would be...

A shallow game with weak combat, no exploration, grinding and grinding with all routes taking you towards the paywall of expense or hours of waiting..and waiting..

Sad really, least I was not disappointed tho. :p

For balance:
https://www.androidauthority.com/elder-scrolls-blades-impressions-974186/

(How some comments rate it AAA is beyond me)

https://twitter.com/ElderScrolls/status/1114283599224823809?s=19

This is not to say that I have not spent a good while in the game. My town is level 4 with some shops level 3.. and yet it still feels like a void.

Levels repeat themselves quickly either starting at one end of the dungeon or the other. Not to say there is not some fun to be had..

Android version for Company

We are a company that has just starting to Using MDM tool. For IOS apple devices we force users to use latest version for security.
But what about for Android, what is the best practise. We have about 2500 android devices from Android 4 to Android 9.
The easy thing would be just to require latest version, but will cause a lot of users with older devices not to connect to company email etc.

So anyone with recommandation what could be the initial base line?

Help Connecting ipad to nikon s800c smart camera

I have a new Nikon Coolpix S800c Smart Camera. It is "supposed" to upload pics from camera to tablets. I downloaded "Connect to S800c" from Itunes onto my Ipad. I have activated both camera and ipad to sync but they continue to just keep searching for each other? I have no idea how to get them to recognise each other. The camera does run Android but I was able to download the app from Itunes. I tried syncing it with my daughter's android tablet, but it still does not recognise anything. It is driving me insane!! Can anyone please help me?

Deezer no more

I've just about had it with these jerks. I don't know how many times I have tried to get rid of this crap, but it's still there. That Deezer charge happened again, and it's been maybe a year. I was offered a free trial through Cricket, which I no longer use, I didn't like it, and I stopped, or thought I did. I don't want to be charged maybe 10 bucks a month for something I'm not even using. How do I get out of this crap?

Device Administration

Hi! I want to use device manager features, but I'm not so sure how to use them. For example, I wanna use this setUninstallBlocked function but I don't know how to configure and add them. I really need help with that..

Reference 1: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DevicePolicyManager



Here is another example, https://www.magicedtech.com/blog/building-apps-with-device-administration-api-devs-guide/
I tried expiring the password but I couldn't :( Is there any article or sample about these features?
